Decanter Gold – Forged from fire and rain
The fact that Doolhof Signatures Malbec 2008 recently won a Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards in London, which are generally regarded as the Oscars of the Wine World, is in itself an achievement, but considering it is the second consecutive year that consecutive vintages of this wine won gold makes it so much more of an achievement.
Over the past year, Doolhof’s wines continued to notch up gold medals.
Doolhof Wine Estate’s newest release – and its flagship red blend – The Minotaur 2007, won a double gold medal at Veritas, South Africa’s national wine awards in October. The news was announced just days after it was released to the Press and general public. The Minotaur also won a gold medal at this year’s Michelangelo Wine Awards in September.
The 2007 Signatures of Doolhof Malbec varietal wine won four golds, two of which were double golds, in just four months!
Doolhof’s 2007 Pinotage won a double gold medal at the Michelangelo Awards, while the 2009 Signatures of Doolhof Sauvignon Blanc won silver at this competition.
